That's nonsense; he was caught with a nice shot and got up; he should've been allowed to continue. I've seen fighters recover from worse shots.I demand a Davis vs Romero II
and it was nothing like tzsyu/Judah who stumbled forward and fell down twice when counted out or did you conveniently forget that. If it was a legit stoppage I would call it but it wasn't.
Rolly was worse than Judah man. Judah lost his equilibrium but he actually was aware of where he was and what happened, and was able to answer the referee. Rolly was completely off, he struggled to stand up, he had no clue what happened and where he was, his gaze lost... referee had to tell him twice to move on his left and when he did his legs were still messed.
Good stop from the referee, let him continue would have been very dangerous

Referee asked Romero to walk to the left (which he didnt), and he didnt even know where he is. Romero just went straight out of the ring immediately after the stoppage.
Virtually every poster in this thread agrees. Rollie was DONE! I know that doesn’t fit your biased agenda but that’s how it happened.
I guess you’re too stupid to understand my post. Any fighter (Tank, Rollie, Pac, Canelo, JMM, Ali, Foreman, Donaire, Chocolatito, Estrada, Bivol, Robinson, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Sanchez, Whitaker, Usyk, Fury, Wilder, Chavez Sr, Chavez Jr, Olivares, Pintor, Fenech, GGG, Crawford, Spence, Galaxy, Wlad Klitscho, Vitali Klitscho, Archie Moore, Davey Moore, Duran, DeJesus, Pryor, Arguello, Mancini, Camacho, Zarate, Zamora, Beterbiev, or any phuckin body else) that is concussed as bad as Rollie was, needs to be stopped. For you to think that the referee should have let that fight continue because then you would have to give credit to a black fighter doesn’t speak well of your moral character. Same old Kid Bazooka.
Man... I just quoted a video above where Rolly thought the fight hasn't even happened yet in the postfight press conference.:lol1:
I would point the delusionals arguing for nothing to that clip. One guy is telling him, "Rolly you just lost. You were KTFO."
The fight needed to be stopped. Romero was out of it well past the fight being stopped.
:lol1:
I saw that video over the weekend. My god, this guy said the fight was a Draw, and then said he hasn’t been hit by Tank. He was clearly done. Who ever would have allowed him to continue fighting after the KD, would have been in serious trouble with a lawsuit for neglecting their duty as a ref to protect the fighters.
This guy forgot he fought Tank, minutes after fighting him but he was still fit to fight after that concussion-inducing punch.
The sad part is that if such an obvious decision to stop a fight goes over some people’s heads, imagine for non-obvious life-threatening beatings? Like Adonis Stevenson and Magomed Abdusalamov? They weren’t immediately obvious, in real-time, during the beatings.
This WAS obvious, and still there’s a few Neanderthals going around saying it was a premature stoppage.
I am very happy, for the sake of boxer’s well-being, that none of you are ref’s.
That actually the perfect example of being “out on your feet”. The guy’s eyes were crossed, he did the Bambi dance twice when he got up. Once while standing still right after getting up. And the second time when the ref asked him to step to the side (while observing his legs).
The ref, an actual professional, trained to identify when a fighter is hurt and act accordingly, thankfully stopped the fight and prevented a badly hurt Rolly’s from taking an unnecessary beating.
Who ever thinks Rolly would have survived that round, had he been allowed to continue, is simply a fool.
The fight needed to be stopped. Romero was out of it well past the fight being stopped.
Damn.. He doesn't know the fight even happened here. That's pretty serious damage.
Did you see him staggering down the isle going back to the dressing room he was still gone 10minutes later.
If you stand a foot away from a guy that is gone his eyes are like a dead fish, the ref saw he was gone, it's dangerous territory in that situation nobody wants to see anybody seriously hurt.
Rolly also lost his perma-scowl that is always etched on his face. You know he's not all there if he's not scowling.
Wrong!
If a fighter is completely done thats fine i don't give a Damn what race he is. But like I said rolly wasn't as done as you conveniently make it seem. He was aware snd responded to what the ref asked.
and your not answering my question your trying to be PC you ain't fooling anyone. I asked if Tank was in rollys position do you think the ref/pbc would have called it that fast? Be honest now we all know the correct answer so let's see if you can keep it real?
Virtually every poster in this thread agrees. Rollie was DONE! I know that doesn’t fit your biased agenda but that’s how it happened.

For everyone saying it was a "good" stoppage can ya honestly sit there and say the fight would have been stopped there if it was tank in that exact position??
that's all you gotta know.
So reality doesn't suit so lets create a fantasy, the guy was hurt bad the ref had the best view of all, you want fantasy what if he let it go and Rolly was killed I bet London to a brick you be one of the first screaming it should have been stopped, is what it is.
The Taylor comparison only works if you imagine it was Rollie who was stopped w 2 seconds go to in the fight after being up on the scorecards.
Or imagine if Canelo got dropped by GGG being up on the cards w 10 seconds to go in the 12th.
Looks at Reynoso twice and Kenny Bayless waives it off.
You know how that reaction would be?? Kenny Bayless would have to go into witness protection and that's a fact.
See there you go you accuse me of being biased then you compare rolly to Taylor who was beaten to a pulp urinating blood yet Rolly took one good shot was no beaten up went down then stood up. Lol
Sounds like you Need the soul searching.
No. Both Taylor and Rollie were DONE.
Again, any fighter, regardless of race, religion, or anything else, that is as concussed as Rollie or Taylor was, needs to be stopped.
Your pro Latino bias runs so deep that in your eyes it’s better to risk the life of a Latino fighter than admit he was beaten by a black fighter. You need to do some soul searching. That’s degree of racism is phucked up.
Your accusing me of what you do. Cmon man your no one to be preaching. You might wanna Look in the mirror first.
and it was nothing like tzsyu/Judah who stumbled forward and fell down twice when counted out or did you conveniently forget that. If it was a legit stoppage I would call it but it wasn't.
you guys are quick to call canelo out on his treatment but when the shoe is on the other foot ya can't admit it. Yea wonder why. Again your no one to be accusing someone of being bais when your notorious for that.
And you didn't answer my question could you honestly sit there and say if it was Tank in that position would they call it? Tank is pbc baby.
Again, any fighter, regardless of race or boxing status, that was concussed as bad a Rollie was has to be stopped. It’s that simple.
I’m still having a hard time believing that you would rather risk the life of any Latino fighter than admit he was beaten by a black fighter. You need to do some soul searching because that’s phucked up.
I’m interested in what your opinion of Taylor/Chavez Sr 1 is.
More than perfectly fine, the stoppage was absolutely warranted.
Yes I agree, only a fool of a ref wouldnt have stopped it, any good ref, Kenny Bayless, Tony Weeks, Jack Reiss would have done the same.
For everyone saying it was a "good" stoppage can ya honestly sit there and say the fight would have been stopped there if it was tank in that exact position??
that's all you gotta know.
Yes. Any fighter no matter the race or standing, gets stopped when they are as concussed as Rollie was. Many get stopped when they’re not as concussed as he was.
"Wobbling all over" cmon man he wasn't all over yea his legs were shaky and he was hurt no one is denying that. But he gathered himself did what the ref asked and stood up without wobbling after. You're acting like he was Zab Judah against tzyu or is your bias for black fighters that bad that you seen him wobble around like Judah?
The fight should have went on but I know tank would have eventually won I'm just calling it how it is, you know if it was tank who was dropped in similar fashion they would 100% let him go on PLEASE don't tell me that wouldn't be the case? I know You know!
My other issue is how the ref was calling rolly out on his elbow yet it was tank who was running in to hold yet those same officials let Floyd pull that elbow **** for over 20 yrs. That's the kinda crap I don't like. Privileged 100% and you know it.
It wasn’t exactly Judah but not far off.
You answered my question. Yes, your bias toward Latino fighters does run so deep that you’d rather see one of them get seriously hurt rather than admit they were conquered by a black fighter. You need to do some soul searching. That’s really phucked up.
Id say if Rolly keeps winning there will be a rematch down the line, the fight generated a lot of excitement it could do it again.
Yes it was a exciting match up. The character clash.
